| 1941 D Rpm
The previous post I had made on my suspected Walking Liberty Half 1941 D RPM, is now officially true, It is an actual RPM ( North-East ) . I'm tickled to death, I paid 7.00 for this coin in EF-40 , and now there is a problem....Does anyone know how many are known out there? If so, or know a site to where I can find out, please give me some info, regardless of rather it is rare or not, I would like to place the mintage of the known 1941 D RPM's on the front of the 2x2 for future reference.

There really isn't a mintage number listed with most varieties. If you look for the variety number such as the Breen number or Cherry pickers.
Also, for this particular coin, there is a rare doubled "D" variety. I would suggest that you take the coin to a dealer and have them referrence Breen#5187

That is the problem my dealer looked in the 2004 cherry pickers guide and we looked at that, but, he said he wasn't for sure how valuable, he estimated only about 7 or 10 dollars more than I paid for it, but, i believe most walking liberties with RPM should bring a substantial premium, is this true or no? And what exactly is this Rare Rpm that you speak of, any paticular way to tell if it is one?

RPM by themselves usually do not bring a premium. It is a small variety. Since the collectability is limited to a small group the value isn't there. There is one rare variety of this year. It is a doubled "D". This is a doubling during the minting process, not a repunched date.

By all means, save it and take care of it.
Eventually, all varieties will be hyped and marketed just like condition rarities, toning (tarnish), high grade moderns, registry sets, etc., etc...
Trust me, it's just a matter of time before the 1941-D RPM (North-East) Walker, becomes another 3-legged Buffalo.
